Before you start

Common questions.

Who is this wedding gift best for?

Everyone in the wedding. Couples gift it to parents, friends gift it to the couple, and the wedding party gifts it to each other. You choose whose story it tells — the couple’s love story, a friendship, or a whole family.

Can I order matching copies for all the bridesmaids or groomsmen?

Yes. Additional copies of the same recap are 25% off, so it’s easy (and affordable) to gift the whole party from one original.

Do I need photos and a finished story?

Just a few photos and some details — about five minutes. We turn it into finished comic panels with captions. No writing or design needed, and you can edit anything before ordering.

Is it good for a 50th wedding anniversary?

It’s one of the most popular uses. You can span decades of marriage into one illustrated book — a golden anniversary gift the whole family treasures.

How fast can I get it before the wedding?

The digital recap is ready the same day. Printed books ship in about 5 business days, with rush delivery available so you make the date.

What if it’s not perfect?

Then you don’t pay. Your first panels are free to preview. You approve a proof before we print.

What if I go over the moment limit?

Standard includes 100 moments, Premium 120, and Deluxe 150. One photo uploaded equals one moment. Extra moments are $0.60 each if you keep every photo in the book — or you can stay at the included count with no extra charge.
